Skinny Girls- do guys like that?

If you want a truthful answer from a guy, start the question with "no matter how you answer, you won''t be getting laid."

I don't think it is men just being dishonest. For more years than not, "beautiful" women were not "thin" in the vast majority of opinions. Yes, most men probably do take a double look at a thin woman and have fleeting immoral thoughts; but then again most men fantasize about having multiple female partners at once and if you ask then what they want in a life long partner they rarely would say a thin slut that has friends to join us. Well, if they are over 21 that is. Men want the same thing women want, a loving, caring partner who will emotionally and physically stand by there side in good times and bad times to come. Personal appearance may be a starting attraction point, but those relationships that last have a lot more attributes than waist size.0

A lot of "beauty" is driven by society. Always has been. I like to challenge society's idea of beauty. I don't give a crap if "guys" like it.
I love this!!! I'm a very curvy girl and I love my body! If a guy doesn't like it, oh well!!0 -
I'm not a guy, so I can't give you an opinion on what guys like, but I think you're right on the money. People (mostly women, it seems) have been stomping and screaming and yelling about how the media effects women and gives them unhealthy ideals or puts pressure on them to be very thin for years. So to find favor with women who want to be flattered for their curves (and bash on thin girls), men say that they prefer "real" women with curves. No obviously I don't think that's true of ALL men. Some men do like plump girls. Some men like fat girls. But I don't think that all men who say this actually don't find thin girls attractive. Your experience with your thin female friends is not uncommon. Go to any bar and see who's getting the most attention: skinny girls or "real" women with curves? My brother once said that he hated going out with me and my sister because guys paid a lot of attention to us. My sister said, "Of course they do, we're hot!" and he said, "No, you're skinny. It doesn't matter if you're hot or not when you're skinny."0

Personally, I think curves are much more attractive and I aspire for a slim and muscular yet curvy physique.
e.g. Give me this
Over this any day!!
But each to their own. It depends on a girl's natural physique. If I wanted to have the body of Keira Knightley I never could! Having said all this there are some lovely looking 'skinny' types who really suit it.0 -
Just go Google search "photoshopped magazine covers" and see what is done to them. Women do have an unrealistic image to live up to. Skinny or overweight is subjective. I was 36-24-36 most of my life, up until a few years back, and my ex kept telling me I was "fat". People spend their lives trying to change the person they are with, THEN make the excuse "you aren't the person I first met". One thing is for sure, you can't diet or exercise an ugly personality away!0

I dont like the word skinny. You have anorexic ( the way humans are suppost to look for mating) Obese.
My group goes in all forms
Me i like petite and have some odd dislike of big jugs so linsey stirling is perfect
One of my best mates likes a bit of chub on a girl but still curvey.
And another likes girls in the 300 pound range. takes all sorts.
I often wonder how much social bullying by obese parents changes things. Most big mothers i know push their sons towards real (Obese) woman.
Then again you have a fashion system driven by homosexuals who by the nature of being gay have a warped view on woman. Genetics push them towards men that can't produce kids so they will favor traits in woman that are not attractive to most men. Kinda explains why skinny girls always get laid i mean you can see the features that make them good mothers.0 -
I just hate the idea that skinny girls are shallow and sluts or unhealthy or whatever. You can't judge the character of aperson on their weight, be they fat or thin.
I know that skinny can be curvy, but when guys go on about how they like curvy they mean not slim, I think. It is one of the ways that the idea of skinny women being less feminine is promoted!
I feel bad for Keira Knightly having her bare body held up as an eww. Actually I don't, she is rich and beautiful and young and talented hahaha.
I just don't get how a guy is seen as 'nicer' for expressing a prefence of bigger women than one who feels the other way.0 -
I have frequently been called "skinny" or "scrawny" by overweight people. I always feel kind of sad for the people who do that, since it calls attention to the fact that they are big. The more confident larger people I know don't comment on other people's bodies. I've never had a man say anything negative about my body. I can't recall thin or average weight people making any comments about my body at all, either, so I don't know what they think of me. I would describe myself as thinner than average - it's an attractive look to me so I don't really care what anybody else thinks. My husband can't keep his hands off me. I guess it depends on the guy. Everyone has different tastes.0

I was about to say....that's not fair b/c that's BOTH their natural builds which are TOTALLY different
Keira Knightley is naturally built that way and catches so much crap for it0 -
Thank heaven there are 7 billion people on the planet, because we all have different tastes and we're all good looking to somebody (hopefully). I once said to family members I don't really have a type and much animated laughter ensued. I was then reminded I liked big boobs, with some curves, but without other curves was okay, as long as the big boobs were there. And they said, if they were Asian, all the better. This was years before I met my wife, my family so knows me. :laugh:0

I think you make an interesting point - what men feel is socially preferable to "say" may not reflect their inner reality.
Thanks for the thought provoking post.0 -
I think it comes down to people having different definitions of "skinny" or "curvy". I think a lot of guys will say they don't want skinny, they want curvy. That's likely because they are equating skinny with anorexic. When they say curvy they still want slender waists. (In fact, go watch "The Science of Sex Appeal" (I think still streamable on Netflix for anyone curious). In one study they have heterosexual men looking at women's body-type outlines, and they will continue to find hip/waist or waist/boob ratios attractive that are crazy and impossible and unhealthy for women.) But I also think that for most men they can easily find someone who is more skinny or less skinny desirable if there is a connection with that person. So, while they might express their "preferred" type, they are flexible and can be attracted to a wide variety of people.
But in general no I don't think men are trying to be "nice" I think they are just clueless. I think an overweight woman can describe herself as "curvy" and she feels better to hear that. But that may not be the guy's definition of curvy. I think in general, due to low self esteem women have really warped views of their own body type (have seen women post on here about being curvy, and that's not how I would describe them!) As well as in general guys are pretty clueless, and generally can find a wide variety of women attractive, but otherwise have a warped view of women's bodies due to media infuence. Whereby curvy to a guy is not anorexic.0 -

Also want to point out in those two photos (which are supposed to "curvy" versus "skinny") we are seeing Keira front on, in a bikini that is mostly covering her up. The other gal is standing facing to the side, with her legs apart, and arching her back. So she probably doesn't have more in the way of "curves" than Keira does, she's just posing in a way that makes her look curvy. She's clearly rather skinny (what is that, an AA-cup at best? and the top seems to be trying to have a push-up effect?). I think a lot of women (like me) would call them both skinny. The 2nd photo only looks so much more curvy because she is posing for that affect. Again, a woman can't just walk out of the ocean in a bathing suit and be considered attractive. She has to wear a tight push-up top, be sticking her butt out, and arching her back to give everyone the impression she's curvy but still has no stomach fat whatsoever. No muscle either.0 -

Trust me Beyonce has much more curves then Keira, no matter what pose they are in...0 -
Seriously, have you never seen Beyonce Knowles before? Yeah, she has WAY more curves than Kiera Knightly. Not that that's a good or bad thing--they have different body types.So she probably doesn't have more in the way of "curves" than Keira does,

I have to disagree, Beyonce defo has more meat on her that Keira, I don't really think that's debatable! And yeah as someone said not fair to compare them as they have different physiques. And another guy loves Keira, so each to their own.I LOVE Beyonce's figure though! I'm putting this pic up on my fridge for next I've I'm tempted to pig out!0 -
Everyone has different tastes but in general I do believe they like skinny or curvy yet slim girls (yes, it's possible to be a size 2/4/6/8 and have curves). Judging from what I see around me, skinny/slender girls will always get more attention from guys than a chubby or obese/overweight women. A thin but regular looking woman can still get plenty of attention from males if she appears confident and has a sociable personality that attracts others. A fat but confident woman might get some attention, but definitely not to the extent than the thin woman would. From my personal experience, the only overweight women that get plenty of attention from males (who aren't chubby chasers) are extremely stunning/pretty and only about 20-30 pounds overweight, never more. I had many nice and kind overweight friends who wanted to date the cute guys they knew but were immediately put in the friend zone asap, yet these guys that claimed they only saw them as friends, were more willing to date any regular looking but thin friend that liked them. It's shallow but I'd be hypocritical if I complained about men being like this - I could picture myself being more physically attracted to a nice but regular looking guy with an average, slender or even slightly chubby build rather than a very attractive and kind 350 pound man.0

Most people like skinny girls, that why most women on here are losing weight to be skinny.
And before all the women come rushing to their defence of i want to be toned/muscular/curvy ect dont bother, the ultimate is to get rid of the fat thus being skinny- so shut it :P ha ha0 -
There is, of course, the challenge that adjectives like "skinny" and "curvy" are open to interpretation.
I think, though, there might also be an issue of how the options are percieved when asking men what they find attractive.
Myself, I don't necessarily find skinny women, even the really thin fashion-model types, to be UN-attractive. But I don't find them to be aesthetically any MORE attractive than someone with a higher, but otherwise still healthy weight.
But then, I also don't go to bars to pick up women.0
